Duckhorn Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2021 750ml

Step into a legacy of excellence with Duckhorn Cabernet Sauvignon 2021, a testament to our dedication to crafting exceptional wines since 1978. Blending fruit from our esteemed estate vineyards and select Napa Valley growers, this wine captures the essence of the valley's complexity while striking a seamless balance between fruit, oak, and tannins. To enhance its depth and character, we've artfully blended Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, resulting in a wine that is approachable in its youth yet worthy of cellaring.

Vintage Notes: The 2021 vintage presented unique challenges and rewards. Despite an unusually dry winter and warm spring, budbreak was delayed due to light rain in March. The resulting light clusters and small berries led to reduced yields but also imparted great concentration to the fruit. Harvest commenced on August 5th with Semillon, and early heat prompted a rapid start to picking. A much-needed cool-down in mid-September allowed for optimal flavor development, followed by moderate temperatures throughout the season, providing extended hangtime for the grapes. Our last red grapes were harvested before late October rains, yielding wines that are beautifully dense, pure, and polished.

Winemaking Notes: Crafted from both mountain and valley-floor fruit, Duckhorn Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 showcases a symphony of aromas, including spiced blackberry, blueberry cobbler, black currant, milk chocolate, and licorice. On the palate, lively acidity adds poise and brightness to the rich blackberry and black raspberry flavors, while velvety tannins provide structure and depth. This voluptuous wine is a true reflection of Napa Valley's terroir, offering a captivating drinking experience that lingers long after the last sip.
